  • Abstract
    The paper investigates the use of partial functions in genetic programming. Previous work (R.I. McKay, 2000), has shown that the convergent behaviour of populations of partial functions is very similar to that of populations of total functions. However the convergence rates of populations of partial functions have been slower. The results presented demonstrate a significant improvement in the rate of convergence of populations of partial functions, and indicate that partial functions represent a realistic alternative to total functions for a range of problems
